Buy used stuff
tip 04
“Especially when starting up your first business, it is recommended to buy used furniture and equipment. We snapped up our first desks at Sabena’s clearance sale. We also bought a used photocopier and fax machine. By doing this, we were able to stretch our limited budget a lot further. We didn’t buy a used car, however, because this is more expensive than leasing. Only the real important stuff, such as good advice, should cost a lot of money.”
